The Brock Student Leadership Summit (BSLS) is an annual leadership conference hosted right here on Brock’s campus, and inspires attendees to discover and embrace their personal authentic leadership style in Niagara and beyond. Students from all around Niagara come together to share leadership stories, past lessons and experiences. This day is designed to ignite participant’s drive for personal and professional growth, stimulate reflection, and to engage the campus community in an environment that encourages networking and idea sharing. 

Held at Brock in January every year, the summit addresses a wide range of topics in leadership and features a variety of workshops and sessions presented by Brock students, as well as professionals.
